Pines

Pinus, also known as pines, are strong and hardy trees with a distinct character. They provide year-round structure and greenery and fit perfectly into both modern and landscape garden and greenery designs. Thanks to their needles and robust growth, Pinus trees have a look all their own.

At Smits Nursery, we supply various Pinus species in various shapes and sizes. From solitary to multi-stemmed, from parasol shape to shrub shape. Due to their versatility and reliability, Pinus trees are widely applicable within professional projects.

Strong, timeless and recognisable

Types of Pinus

Pinus in various species

Pines belong to the conifers, but form a distinct group of their own. The main difference is that the needles of Pinus stand together in bundles of two to five. This gives Pinus trees their distinctive look.

Within our range, you will find Pinus species that are distinctive in shape, colour and application. This makes them suitable for a variety of designs, from urban gardens to park-like settings.

Our Pinus trees

Within our product range, you will find Pinus trees in various designs. We supply Pinus in tall, multi-stemmed or shrub form. There are also parasol-shaped varieties, which provide an open and airy silhouette within a design.

Smits delivers Pinus trees both from the ground, with a strong wire root ball, and in containers. This allows flexibility in size, application and planting moment.

Why Pinus

Reliable and versatile

Pinus trees are loved for their strong growth, hardy character and low maintenance requirements. They bring calm and structure to a design and remain iconic even in winter.

Pinus is widely used in:

  • villa gardens and landscaped gardens
  • parks and public spaces
  • projects where a robust, natural look is desired


In terms of maintenance, Pinus trees are uncluttered. They require little pruning and grow well in sun to semi-shade. Most species withstand wind and drier conditions well.

Options

Shapes and applications

Pinus trees are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including:

  • tall-stemmed
  • multi-stemmed
  • parasol shape
  • bush shape


Because of this variation, Pinus trees are suitable as specimen shurbs, as part of a larger whole or as a structure carrier within a design. Depending on species and shape, they can form a quiet accent or, conversely, a powerful eye-catcher.
